Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new and improved method for the determination of the length of endless filamentary materials, herein referred to broadly as yarn, which is wound upon a cross-wound package at a winding apparatus or winder containing a friction drive and a grooved drum.
  • each warping frame For certain fields of application or endeavor in the textile industry, for instance during the preparation for weaving, there are required for each warping frame a larger number of bobbins, each of which must be provided with packages of as constant yarn length as possible. Unequal yarn lengths result in a high loss in yarn, and accordingly, increased fabrication costs. If, for instance, the package length at the hundreds of bobbins of the warping frame differ by only one percent between the longest and shortest package, then for each 100,000 meters of wound-off yarn length there already occurs a yarn loss which amounts up to 1,000 meters per package.
  • Still a further significant object of the present invention is directed to a new and improved construction of apparatus for accurately determining the length of a yarn wound upon a cross-wound package by means of a friction drive utilizing a grooved drum while effectively taking into account any occurring slippage.
  • Yet a further important object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for the length determination of yarn or like filamentary materials, so that, during the frictional drive of the cross-wound package it is possible to produce packages of only very slight differences of, for instance, less than approximately 0.5% of the yarn length.
  • the method aspects of the present development are manifested by the features that, during the winding operation there is continuously measured in successive intervals the slip which is governed by the relationship or ratio of the circumferential velocities of the grooved drum and the cross-wound package, and with the aid of the measured magnitude of the slip there is undertaken a correction of the yarn length determined during the momentary successive intervals without taking into account the slip.

No. 06/313,208, filed Oct. 20, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,373,266 and entitled "Equipment for Continuously Measuring the Length of an Endless Material Being Wound-up into a Circular Package".
  • the signals delivered by the sensors or feelers 2, 4 and 6 are inputted to an evaluation circuit 7 and processed by such evaluation circuit, as the same will be explained in greater detail hereinafter in conjunction with the following FIGS. 2 to 8.
  • the comparator 8 and the set value transmitter 9 serve to stop the winding station or location by means of the stop mechanism ST upon reaching a certain yarn length which has been wound upon the cross-wound package K and to cut the yarn G by means of the cutter device T, as such is well-known in this technology from the previously referred to patents.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 of the grooved drum N and the cross-wound package K serve for explaining the mathematically computed foundation of the measuring technique which will be described hereinafter in detail in conjunction with FIG. 5. To that end there are required the following fixed data of the winding location or station and the following parameters which are to be continuously measured during the winding or spooling operation:
  • b width of the grooved drum and the cross-wound package
  • ⁇ groove angle
  • n rotational speed of the grooved drum.
  • the slip is defined as the ratio of the circumferential speeds or velocities of the grooved drum N and the cross-wound package K and can be expressed as follows:
  • reference characters n and k designate the number of revolutions of the grooved drum and the cross-wound package, respectively, within a certain time interval or cycle, which can encompass for instance 1,000 revolutions n or k.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the length T of an individual yarn or thread winding at the cross-wound package K when there does not exist any slip.
  • the groove angle ⁇ again appears without change as the angle between a circumferential line of the length ⁇ D and the yarn or thread winding.
  • the lateral displacement of the yarn or thread during one revolution amounts to T.sin ⁇ .
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the length U of a single yarn or thread winding at the cross-wound package K with slip present.
  • the circumference of the cross-wound package K in this case, possesses a velocity which is reduced by the ratio 1/S in relation to the circumference of the grooved drum N.
  • the cross-wound package K therefore needs S-times more time than in the situation illustrated in FIG. 3, and accordingly, the lateral displacement of the thread is equal to S.T.sin ⁇ .
  • equation (4) If in equation (4) the square root term is replaced by the following correction factor f: ##EQU2## then the above equation (4) can be rewritten in the following simple manner as:
  • ⁇ D constitutes the circumference of the cross-wound package K; by means of the factor f there is determined the influence of both stroke of the grooved drum N and also the slip S upon the length measurement.
  • This evaluation circuit 7 encompasses two channels.
  • the first channel comprises the switching circuits 12, 13 and 14 which are connected in series between the D-sensor 4 and a length storage 15 which possesses two inputs A1 and A2.
  • the D-measuring circuit 12 forms diameter signals representing the magnitude or parameter D, which are converted in the ⁇ -multiplier 13 into the circumference signals of the magnitude ⁇ D.
  • a first electronic switch 14 is closed by each of the k-pulses generated by the k-sensor 2, so that the circumference signal arrives at the input A1 of the length storage 15 and is stored therein. The successive circumference signals are added in this length storage 15.
  • the second channel serves for generating length-correction signals which are periodically formed and are inputted to the second input A2 of the length storage 15.
  • This second channel encompasses a k-counter 16, a n-counter 17, a slip measuring circuit 18, a f-measuring circuit 19, a summation device or adder 22, a multiplier 23, a subtractor 24, and a second electronic switch 25. Additionally, there are provided for inputting the constant values d and ⁇ or tg 2 ⁇ a d-transmitter and a groove angle transmitter 21, respectively.
  • the k-counter 16 is connected to the k-sensor 2 and has a reset input R which is connected with the output a2 of the n-counter 17.
  • the n-counter 17 connected with the n-sensor 6 is constructed as a ring counter and has two outputs a1 and a2: the first output a1 delivers in each case the number n of revolutions of the grooved drum N which are counted within one cycle; one cycle encompasses for instance 1,000 revolutions. At the end of each cycle there is reset the n-counter 17 and such simultaneously delivers a cycle pulse of the output a2.
  • the slip measuring circuit 18 there is computed therefrom the value of the slip according to the equation (1) within one cycle and such is inputted to the input 102 of the f-measuring circuit 19, the second input 104 of which is connected with the groove angle transmitter 21.
  • the factor f is computed in the f-measuring circuit 19 in accordance with the equation (5).

  • the output signal of the summation device 22 represents the circumferential sum which is formed during the cycle; by means of the clock or cycle pulse emanating from the output a2 of the n-counter 17 there is reset the summation device 22.
  • the circumferential sum is multiplied in the multiplier 23 by the value f from the f-measuring circuit 19, so that there is realized the sum of the length U, see FIG. 4, of the windings which have been wound upon the cross-wound package K.
  • the subtracting device or subtractor 24 there is subtracted from such length sum the circumferential sum of the summation device 22. Consequently, there is obtained the additional length governed by the groove angle and the slip, which is then cyclically added to the continuously stored circumferential sum and which is determined by the first channel.
  • the switching circuits 19 and 21 are to be designed in accordance with this equation; instead of inputting the value tg 2 ⁇ into the groove angle transmitter 21 there is to be inputted the value sin 2 ⁇ .
  • FIGS. 6, 7, 8 and 9 explain a different manner of length measurement while taking into account the slip.

  • FIG. 2 the length of a single winding of the groove F of the grooved drum N has been designated by reference character Y.
  • This reference character Y simultaneously designates the yarn length which is applied to the cross-wound package K without the presence of slip.
  • FIG. 6 shows a development of the cross-wound package K while taking into account a slip S. Hence, a point located at the circumference of the cross-wound package K moves through the path ⁇ d/S during one revolution of the grooved drum N, whereas the stroke has the unaltered value b/p.
  • the thread length which is applied to the cross-wound package K is here desiqnated by reference character Z.
  • n and k contains the times or durations t n and t k for in each case one revolution of the grooved drum N and the cross-wound package K, respectively.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates an evaluation circuit which has been designed for this method.
  • a K-time measuring circuit 26 At the k-sensor 2 there is connected a K-time measuring circuit 26, and at the n-sensor 6 there is connected a N-time measuring circuit 27.
  • a d-transmitter 20 At the k-sensor 2 there is connected with the D-sensor 4 the D-measuring circuit 12, and furthermore, there is provided a d-transmitter 20.
  • the outputs 110, 112, 114 and 116 of the aforementioned circuits 12, 20, 26 and 27, respectively, are connected to the four separate inputs 118 of the slip measuring circuit 18A, the output 120 of which is connected with one input 122 of both inputs 122, 124 of the g-measuring circuit 19A.
  • the other input 124 of the g-measuring circuit 19A is connected with the groove angle transmitter 21.
  • the output 112 of the d-transmitter 20 is connected with the ⁇ -multiplier 13.
  • the multiplier 23 there are multiplied the output signals of the ⁇ -multiplier 13 and the g-measuring circuit 19A, and there is continuously computed the value of a yarn length Z according to the equation (11).
  • the electronic switch 25 which is connected with the multiplier 23 is briefly closed by each n-pulse, that is to say, during each revolution of the grooved drum N. Consequently, the output signal of the multiplier 23 arrives at the storage 15A and at that location is stored and continuously added to the total length of the wound-up yarn or the like.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 explain the construction and the mode of operation of the time measuring circuits 26 and 27. Since these time measuring circuits 26 and 27 are of identical construction the following description is valid for both such circuits.
  • FIG. 9 schematically illustrates a number of rows of signals a to h which are generated in the time measuring circuits.
  • the function of the time measuring circuit illustrated in FIG. 8 resides in converting the distances or spacing of the pulses a, FIG. 9, delivered by the related sensors 2 and 6, respectively, into serial digital form and to store such in parallel form in a digital storage 35. This is accomplished in the intervals governed by the rotation of the grooved drum N and the cross-wound package K, respectively, and there is continuously available the last measured value of the time or duration t n and t k , respectively, at the output of the digital storage 35.
  • t n and t k are not constant during the winding operation; in particular, during the start-up and shutdown of the winding location or station they tend to ascend and drop relatively rapidly.
  • the sensor pulses a, FIG. 9, delivered by the sensors 2 and 6, respectively, are transformed in a binary divider or T-toggle element 30 into a sequence of rectangular or squarewave time measuring pulses b of the length t k and t n , respectively.
  • a clock generator 31 generates clock pulses of a frequency of, for instance, 100 kHz or greater.
  • the clock pulses and the time measuring pulses b are inputted to an AND-gate 32 which delivers with the clock frequency synchronous serial time measuring pulses c.
  • Such are inputted to and stored in a serial-to-parallel coder 33, briefly S/P-coder, provided with a reset input R, until the S/P-coder 33 is reset by a reset pulse e.
  • an AND-gate 36 with a negated input and a monostable toggle element 37, also briefly referred to as a monoflop, connected at the output of the AND-gate 36.
  • the negated input of the AND-gate 36 is connected with the output of the T-toggle element 30, the other input with the input of the T-toggle element 30.
  • the AND-gate 36 delivers during each second sensor pulse a a control pulse d, the trailing edge of which actuates the monoflop 37, so that such furnishes a reset pulse e.
  • the m-parallel output lines of the S/P-coder 33 are connected in each case with an input of one of m-AND-gates 34.
  • the second inputs of such AND-gates 34 have inputted thereto the already mentioned control pulse d.
  • control pulse d With each control pulse d there appears at the outputs of the m-AND-gates 34 the digital value which prevails at the end of the ramp or step-shaped signal f, as such has been indicated by reference character g. This value is representative of the magnitude t g and t n in parallel digital form.
  • the m-outputs of the AND-gates 34 are connected with the m-data inputs of the data storage 35 which can consist of m-parallel D-toggle elements.
  • the second inputs or control inputs C of the D-toggle elements are controlled by the already mentioned control pulses d. Accordingly, during each control pulse d there is stored the digital value of the signal g in the digital storage 35 and such remains stored until the arrival of the next control pulse, as such has been indicated by the step-shaped curve h. At the m-outputs of the digital storage 35 there thus continuously appears the value of the times or durations t k and t n , respectively, in parallel digital form.
  • the evaluation circuits described in conjunction with FIGS. 5 and 7 can be designed both as analog and also as digital measuring circuits. With the predominantly employed digital evaluation there must be provided appropriate clock or cycle pulse transmitters which deliver the high-frequency clock pulses required for measuring the individual parameters, especially the diameter D and the rotational speeds k and n and t k and t n , respectively, as such has been described in conjunction with FIG. 8.
  • the indicated equations (4) or (11) also can be replaced by approximation equations which are obtained from expansion of a function in a series. In this case the exact equations (4) and (11) provide the possibility of estimating the errors caused by the approximation.
  • the slip S also can be expressed in a different manner, for instance by the equation:
  • the value s>0 means that slip is present.
  • the described embodiments are concerned with the case of a cylindrical cross-wound package. However, they also can be valid for a conical cross-wound package provided that the cone angle does not exceed the usual small values. There is then used in place of the diameter D of the cylindrical cross-wound package the mean diameter of the conical package.
